Summary: Avicel cellulose was pretreated with two commonly used carboxylic acid-based deep eutectic solvents, choline chloride-lactic acid and choline chloride-formic acid. The pretreatment led to the formation of cellulose esters with lactic acid and formic acid, which was confirmed through spectroscopic analysis. Surprisingly, the esterified cellulose showed a significant decrease in enzymatic glucose yield compared to the untreated cellulose, but this reduction could be recovered by removing the ester groups through saponification. The decreased enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis may be attributed to changes in the interaction between the cellulose-binding domain of cellulase and the esterified cellulose.

Summary: Deconstruction of cell wall structure is important for biorefining of lignocellulose to produce biofuels and chemicals. This review article discusses various oxidative pretreatment methods including wet oxidation, alkaline hydrogen peroxide, organic peracids, Fenton oxidation, and ozone oxidation. The primary mechanism of oxidative pretreatment is delignification, particularly in alkaline medium, which improves cellulose digestibility by eliminating the physical blocking and non-productive adsorption of enzymes by lignin. However, the cost of oxidative delignification is currently too expensive for large-scale applications.

Summary: In this article, a highly diastereo- and enantioselective alpha-regioselective Mannich reaction is achieved by using chiral N,N'-dioxide/Sc-III catalysts. A series of chiral alpha-quaternary allyl aldehydes and homoallylic alcohols with vicinal multisubstituted stereocenters are constructed in excellent yields, good diastereomeric ratios, and excellent enantiomeric excess values. Experimental studies and DFT calculations reveal the critical factors for the alpha-regioselectivity to be the large steric hindrance of the ligand and the Boc protecting group of imines.

Summary: The photophysical properties of seven red and NIR RTP molecules in THF and in the solid phase were theoretically studied using DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The unique molecular configuration has the potential to achieve red and NIR RTP emission, and the substitutions of halogen and sulfur can red-shift the emission wavelength. Moreover, linking two cyclic imide groups can further make the emission wavelength longer. Based on this, two new RTP molecules with long emission wavelengths (645 nm and 816 nm) are theoretically proposed and analyzed. This investigation provides a wise strategy to design efficient and long-emission RTP molecules.

Summary: A highly chemo- and enantioselective alkylation of vinyl azides with 3-bromo-3-substituted oxindoles was achieved using a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Ni(OTf)2-mediated tandem process. Water played a critical role in the chemo- and enantioselectivity, and hydrated Na3PO4 served as both a base and a water reservoir. The reaction produced a wide range of enantioenriched oxindoles with alpha-carbonyl-substituted all-carbon quaternary stereocenters, and the products could be easily transformed into valuable analogues.

Summary: In this paper, a TiO2-x overlayer formed over Ru NPs (Ru@TiO2-x/TiO2) was reported as a chemoselective, durable, and sulfur-resistant catalyst for the partial hydrogenation of quinoline and other N-heteroarenes under reduction conditions. It was found that the oxygen vacancies of the Ru@TiO2-x overlayer served as the active sites for H-2 activation, and the synergy between the TiO2-O-v (TiO2-x) active sites and subsurface Ru particles effectively reduced the barriers of H-2 dissociation and H addition steps.

Summary: This paper investigates five TPA-ace based molecules with different electron-withdrawing groups and through-space charge transfer (TSCT) property using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) combined with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent functional theory (TD-DFT). The study finds that stronger electron-withdrawing ability of acceptors leads to a redshift of emission and a smaller energy gap between the first singlet excited state (S1) and the first triplet excited state (ΔEST). The TSCT character of TPA-ace-TRZ is further confirmed by quantitative calculation of the ratio of TSCT to through bond charge transfer (TBCT) for S1 state. The TADF property is also analyzed based on spin-orbit coupling and (reverse) intersystem crossing rates between S1 and T1. The calculation results provide insights into TSCT-TADF characteristics.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
